Story here. Excerpt:

'A young mother who tricked a Royal Marine into believing that he was the father of her baby and paying out thousands of pounds in child maintenance has failed to get her prison sentence overturned.

The conned Marine treated the baby girl as his own daughter for five years before the mother's web of lies unraveled.

The mother even lied about the results of a paternity test when he sought reassurance that the baby was his.

She was jailed for six months at Newport Crown Court after admitting two counts of fraud last month.'
